intermolecular forces.

Solutions:Solution and its types, expression of concentration of solution,
solubility and factors affecting the solubility of a solid in a liquid
(temperature and pressure), Vapour pressure of a liquid, Raoult’s law for both
volatile and non volatile solute,Ideal and non ideal solution, Colligative
properties, abnormal molecular masses and Van’t Hoff factor.

Thermo dynamics : Macroscopic properties of the system, modes of transfer of
energy between system and surrounding, Phase transition, phase rule and phase
diagram, First Law, second law and third law, of thermodynamics. Internal energy
and enthalpy of the reaction, their measurement and application, spontaneity of
process, Entropy and spontaneity, Helmholtz and Gibb’s free energy,
